Thread: 308 Subsonics

well you go ahead and use them......but dont come crying when you have shot through head and missed brain or brain stem and animal gets away..... yes in ideal world the shot will be right dead centre where you want it to be....... as a bush hunter first n foremost...I often DONT have the liberty of time to find rest or indeed ability to see deer if taking rest.....so shots arent always exactly in optimal position....cant off top of head think of last time a deer went more than 20 yards all the same,would have to be...3 years ago in open country and she went downhill towards me so was ok.... had that been in bush...not so easy to find.... Ive shot 20 animals I guess with subsonics 17 of them no issue at all.....the other 3 I wont repeat ,went back to using .223 and will continue to do so,its just so much more humain.
if you are using suppressor a load thats in between will still be very quiet but will have a lot more shock factor when it hits,will expand much better and give larger margin for error. something 1500-2000fps would be ideal....
but each to their own .
